Chemical Structure

Methotrexate EP Impurity L CAS 52980-68-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methotrexate EP Impurity L is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Methotrexate EP Impurity L (CAS 52980-68-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H16N2O5, MW 280.28 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Methotrexate EP Impurity L (C13H16N2O5) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

CATO manufactures Methotrexate EP Impurity L under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
